Smart, successful and good-looking Iwaya Sumire works for a big newspaper. However, her boss asks her to leave for being too "perfect" a woman. Feeling angry and dejected Iwaya returns home depressed, and most of all lonely. However, when she finds an unconscious young man lying in a box out the front of her home, she takes him in since he looks like a dog she used to own called Momo. She dubs him Momo and decides to "keep him as a pet." It's the start of an unexpected life together as they overcome obstacles and become quite attached to one another. But can love like this exist?

This is easily one of my favorite series! The characters are well-developed and insanely likeable, the plot is engaging and dramatic - everything you might want! This series has a great mix of romance and humor. The art is unique and I admit, it took a little getting used to - but once I'd read a few chapters, it seemed natural to me. This is definitely recommended for 20-somethings and anyone who enjoys a bit more depth to their shoujo.

One of my absolute favorite series and definitely a must-read; I can't wait to see what will happen between Takeshi and Sumire. The drawing might not be the regular shoujo style, but it's nonetheless great. The characters are all more or less likable and you can't help but getting affected by the story - you just have to know what will happen next.

And you should check out the drama too, it's just as great as the manga is.
